Mairi is a gynaecologist with a sub-specialist interest in urogynaecology. Mairi is particularly interested in the quality of life issues often faced by women as they get older. These include not only menopausal symptoms and incontinence but also sexual dysfunction and irregular or heavy periods. She is happy to discuss both conventional and alternative forms of treatment for most hormonal problems, including the use of herbal remedies and Bio-identical hormones.

Mairi is ACC accredited and thus able to help women with problems after traumatic childbirth, or complications from gynaecological surgery, including mesh complications.
